Questions 40 through 42 refer to the following article.

Many people are not aware that plane trips pose several health hazards. This is of particular
concern for business travelers who fly frequently. The more often you travel, the greater the
health risk becomes. One problem with planes is that the air in the cabin is constantly
recirculated. This means that instead of breathing fresh air from the outside, you breathe the
same air over and over again, along with all the other passengers. This exposes you to colds, flu,
or any other contagious disease that another passenger may have brought on board. You can
protect yourself by making sure you get plenty of Vitamin C in the days. before your flight.
While on the plane, drink a lot of water. The dryness of the cabin air enhances your susceptibility
to disease. Maintaining a general state of good health by eating right, exercising regularly, and
getting enough sleep is also important.

5
 Long flights pose another sort of health problem. Being forced to sit fora long time in the same
position is bad for your circulation. It's -particularly dangerous for people who are at risk for
blood clots and other circulatory problems. You can lessen the risk by getting up from your seat
every hour-or so and taking a walk down the aisle. Standing up and moving around even for just
a few minutes will improve your circulation and help you feel more comfortable.

Your business obligations may not allow you to fly less frequently or take shorter flights. These
recommendations will help you look out for your health while traveling.

Question 40. Who is this article for?

A. Flight attendants B. Businesspeople
C. Airline companies D. Doctors
